You already know you have MS Trolls in this group, best way to handle
them is to talk around them, they will not listen to common sense or
help you make Devuan what you want it to be. They are just here to tell
you that you are stupid until you do things their way and that's to use
systemd or something else that will destroy Devuan. Their not stupid,
avoid them and get on with your business and Save Linux!
